AIM OF THE STUDY METHODS To investigate the value of a geno2pheno estimate of viral tropism in predicting CD4+ depletion in HIV-infected naive subjects with high CD4+. Multicenter, cohort study with retrospective assessment of viral tropism on stored plasma samples • Included HIV-1 naive infected patients with: • CD4+>350 cells/mm3 at time of first sample • HIV-RNA>500 copies/mL • Follow-up time ranged from the date of first available plasma sample (baseline) to the date of the last visit or the date of cART initiation. • HIV-1 coreceptor usage was determined by algorithm geno2pheno, available at http://coreceptor.bioinf.mpi-inf.mpg.de/, with a cut-off of false-positive rate (FPR) of 10%.
